How I did it: I had quite for a year and a half in the past using the nicotine patch, but with my current job I sweat too much to use the patch again so I tried that Chantix which is basically the same thing as quitting cold turkey which I've never been able to do, but it doesn't give you a choice, it blocks the nicotine from stimulating the receptors in the brain that it pleases. Everyone quits differently and mine was a living hell, 2 anxiety attacks and got into a fist fight with my best friend for no reason, and that was just the first 4 days but it got easier after that.

Lessons & tips: If you really want to quit, don't give up.  It's so easy to give up, but just stick with the quit.

Resources: Chantix and a great want and need to quit.
